ZURICH--ABB Ltd (ABBN.VX) on Wednesday posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings as a host of big contracts helped the world's largest builder of electrical power grids weather the headwinds caused by a stronger dollar.

Zurich-based ABB, which also makes industrial robots, said net profit for the three months ended March 31 rose 3.7% to $564 million from $544 million a year earlier. A Dow Jones Newswires survey of analysts forecast profit of $541 million.

Sales declined 9.6% to $8.56 billion from $9.47 billion a year earlier. Analysts had forecast $8.41 billion.

The performance reflects ABB's success at landing a handful of big contracts, including a $900 million order to connect power grids in Norway and Germany. The large deals helped ABB blunt the impact of a strong dollar, the company's reporting currency, which reduced the company's reported sales in the eurozone and other regions.
